The final event of the Madeira Open 2018 was won by Peder Skaj and Peter Bertheau (Sweden) with 70.02%. In second place were Yael Topiol (Belgium) and Hans Vergoed (Netherlands); and in third Gabriel Gislason and Gisli Steingrimsson (Iceland). Full results HERE.

CNSV (Morgado – Silva – Machado – Macedo – Fernandes) have overtaken their fellow-islanders, moving up 51 places to take the top Madeiran spot (17th), but last year’s winners, Nuno Matos, which includes Madeirans Miguel Teixeira and Carlos Luiz (plus an Azorean – Nuno Paz – and a Brazilian – Diego Brenner), have also made a stunning recovery to climb from 60th to 10th, well in contention with 60 VPs to play for.

There are a lot of teams still in the running, so the last three matches will be crucial. Full results HERE.

Erratum: yesterday’s update said that the top Madeiran pair (after 2 sessions) was Ricardo Fernandes and Filipe Gonçalves. In fact, they were second of the local pack, the top-placed pair being Alexandre Rodrigues and Bruno Macedo. Many apologies for the oversight.
